Configuring SSO and access control requires mapping your organization's identity provider to workspace roles and isolating administrative functions from consumer queries to maintain a secure production analytics workload.

Data sharing and Dives represent different isolation boundaries in MotherDuck, where shares explicitly push data access to external accounts while Dives provide interactive query-level isolation within the existing workspace.

Setting up service accounts for governed data access involves replacing individual user credentials with dedicated tokens to enforce consistent isolation boundaries and maintain secure, auditable governance across automated workloads.

Data residency constraints are framed by the cloud region your workspace occupies, and compliance is maintained by aligning your workload's deployment region with organizational data sovereignty requirements.

The best way to verify security boundaries before a production rollout is checking live workspace metadata, including owned and shared databases, to ensure your governance posture matches publicly documented security anchors.

Your current credential approach fails governance requirements because it relies on user-level tokens instead of service accounts, breaking the necessary isolation boundaries between administrative and consumer data access.
